\"Weeks<\/p>\n

Etymology<\/strong> (Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx): from the Late Latin septim\u0101na<\/em> (week), from the Latin septimus<\/em> (seventh) [source<\/a>]. The Cornish and Breton words are also related to seven.<\/p>\n

Etymology<\/strong> (wythnos): from wyth<\/em> (eight) and nos<\/em> (night) – so a week in Welsh has eight nights, counting from midnight on Saturday to the following Saturday night.<\/p>\n
